Finally

Thanks to April for telling me what she learned I am once more able to post pics here. I didn't realise you only get limited storage space for pictures and videos on your blog. Suddenly whenever I tried to post pictures I was told my space was full. I tried deleting old post and still it didn't help. So here's how it works ... well at least how I think it works. Pictures posted on your blog get saved onto Picasa Web Albums. The web address is https://picasaweb.google.com. You can log into your account the same way you log onto your blog and other google accounts (your email address and password). I found that even the images I had deleted from old blog posts were still stored on Picasa. The Artist's Way blog I used to belong to has been deleted but all the images I had posted on there over the years were still stored on Picasa. I deleted these and the images I had already deleted from my blog and hey presto it said on the bottom of the screen that I now have only used 927MB (18.12%) of my 5120MB allowance. Woohoo!!! So to celebrate I will leave you with a pic of my hearts desire.If you are reading this Santa, these can be found in Wittner and I take a size 8!

Uta! I cannot see it. I only see the grey circle with the line through it. Are you sure you left that pic in picasa? Also your picture and your header picture are gone. You must leave those in picasa, unless you want them deleted from your blog. I think you got carried away! When you delete from picasa, they will disappear from your blog too.

My header is still there April but the picture of the shoe was gone. I put it back on to see if it happens again. I know the pictures get deleted from my blog when I delete from Picasa. I only deleted the real early posts and the AW posts.

About Me

Certain subjects or objects attract me. They seem to resonate with my sensibility. It could be an attraction of a certain look, a form, or even the shadow the form creates. I want to make paintings that evoke a delight in remembering.
The scale of the subjects or objects in my paintings are much larger than life. I found the larger scale gave the objects more presence. The everyday objects in my paintings are imbued with my own sense of family, personal history and a sense of the sacred within the everyday.
I found text and pattern added a visual complexity to the objects. My response to text and pattern is not to its decorative value alone but to its potential as another level of meaning or story telling. It speaks of a subtext within the work.
Objects have very specific associations for people but whatever narratives others see in my paintings it is not the motive behind them. My paintings simply give me a voice to tell my stories.
